Title: Thomas Young Bryce
Post by: aidansrest on Friday 02 June 17 12:13 BST (UK)
Hi

I hope someone can help!

Thomas Young Bryce was born in Sunderland, England on the 4th March 1897, son of Henry Young Bryce and Sarah Foley Clark.

However, sometime after 1911 he emigrated to South Africa (the story has it that his parent's sent him there).

He must have married in South Africa, his wife's first name was Winifred, and a daughter, Yvonne Barbara, was born on the 10th May 1929.
She returned to Sunderland and married.

I'm assuming that Thomas Young Bryce remained in South Africa, probably with his wife.

Can anybody find any evidence of him getting there, marrying, having children or dying?

Any help much appreciated!

Sue
